NEARsIGH1EDNEss IN THE Schools
DR.. Whittier, of Brookline, who has
examined the eyes cf members of the
upper classes IN the High school of that
town, states that over SO per cent of the
pupils have some affection of the eyes.
Thirty-four per cent. of those examined
were troubled with myopy, II per cent.
with hypheropia, and 6 per cent. with
various other eye troubles. "Of these,
II per cent. were astigmatc TO some ex-
tent" says the doctor. II propose to ex-
anime the same pupils eyes one year
from now, to see what changes have taken
place, especially in the myopic eyes. So
far, / find that nearsigbtedness seems to
increase in proportion as our school sys-
tenn becomes more complex, and pupils
are obliged to apply themselves more
closely to their work. A larger per cent.
of myopic eyes are found in the city than
in village or country schools. ."-Boston

President Cleveland has again shown his
fitness for the high post he occupies by his
veto of the bill giving 10000 out of the
federal treasury to supply seed wheat to
distribute to droughtstricken farmers in
certain Texas counties.
Texas has not a dollar of debt. At the
time Of the passage of the bill 1t was stated
by Senator Coke, of Texas, that the state
legislature was providing measures Of re-
lief. There was no call for such a display
OF federal charity. 1t grew out of an
overlooking national treasury. which seems
to inspire the wasting of the contents
thereof. Senator Coke showed this well
when he said: We ask no charity from
Congress We ask no aid from the national
government. We only ask to be treated as
the people Of other states are treated.
Thepresident deserves high commenda
tion for his at, in conflict as it was with
the votes Of ten Democratic senators. And
one sentence Of the veto message should
not be soon forgotten " Though the peo
pie support the government, the govern
ment should not support the people,"
